Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal

Dedicated to promoting point-of-view documentary, the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal presents an annual program of films from around the world. The Rencontres has demonstrated its commitment to defending the creation, production and distribution of documentary film and video.
Films are selected according to various themes, and in some cases, the public is invited to participate in a debate after the screening. In this manner, the Rencontres contributes to giving documentary its rightful place at the heart of our social and cultural life.
The workshops and forum provide film and video professionals with unique and necessary opportunities to share ideas about political and artistic issues, and in the process, to help safeguard the future of documentary.
A showcase of documentary production, the Rencontres contributes to the wider distribution of works on a national and international scale by forging partnerships with such natural allies as professional associations, broadcasters, educational institutions, social organizations and broadcast agencies.
